I'm sure there was a short lived football based sitcom in the early 80s. Nobody else my age remembers it

"Keir Starmer needs to be assassinated, someone needs to shoot Keir Starmer."
I think this might be incitement to violence rather than Free Speech.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP
